    You can change the access level for users at any time when you are the owner of the dashboard by accessing the Share menu. You will see a list of all users you have shared the dashboard with and their access level. In order to change their access level, open the drop-down menu next to their name.

    When you are the owner of the dashboard, you can also unshare it at any time by accessing the Share dialog and selecting Remove from the drop-down menu next to any member's name.

    Remove a member option

    In general, a user can have one of the following permissions:

    • Owner permissions - the user can create, edit, share and delete.

    • Contributor permissions - the user can create, edit, share (with the owner's approval), and delete. Keep in mind that the user cannot delete the item that was shared with them (Dashboards/Dashboard Lists).

    • Viewer permissions - the user can view a dashboard. They can also share it with another user after the approval of the owner.

    Sharing a Workspace's Dashboard with Other Users

    Any member of a workspace can share the workspace's dashboards with other users. To do this:

    1. Go to the Workspaces tab.

    2. Choose a dashboard from the Dashboards section.

    3. Follow the steps in Sharing your Own Dashboard with Other Users. Keep in mind that the owner of the workspace needs to approve the request first in order for a member to share a dashboard with another member.

    Sharing a Dashboard with a Whole Workspace

    You can share a dashboard you have access to with a workspace instead of individually with every workspace member.

    To do this, choose a dashboard from the Dashboards section in My Analytics or Workspaces tab. Then follow the steps in Sharing your Own Dashboards with Other Users.

    Note

    You can share a dashboard with any public workspace that is part of the Organization, whether you are a member of it or not. You can also share with private workspaces that you are a member of.
